That's just no good if an EV is an only vehicle. It needs to charge 300 mile range in 5 minutes or less to be competitive. Who wants to stop for 10 minutes to charge every 30 minutes of driving? That's just silly.
IMO 20 - 25 minutes is way too long.
I wonder if I could start a business...
I really hope if there's an AWD Mustang it's sold as a separate model rather than turning all Mustangs into porky SUVs. The Mustang is already heavy and big enough. Plus, I really don't want the price increase from adding all those extra parts to the car.
I'd rather see a transaxle to improve...
First and second are the gears that you want to have steeper for daily driving and having fun on the street. With a 3.25 first gear and 3.73 rear gears, the GT350 topped out at over 50 mph in first gear, which is terrible. One shift and you're done on the street. No more accelerating through...
The Tremecs in GT350s had really tall gears. I would hope that Ford would put different gears in it - more like the pre-2018 MT-82. Maybe the Tremecs in the Mach 1 have different gearing, but I don't think so.
Why would I want to buy a vehicle with crappy tires/consumables on it? As far as I'm concerned the Ferodo pads are good. Yes they make dust, but they perform really well. I guess it depends on what you want. But why buy a somewhat sporty car with crappy pads that keep your wheels clean for...
I think you're right that the Mach E probably indicates a general direction of styling movement in the Mustang and there will be some commonalities. But the 1400 is designed to be pretty wild and I doubt a production vehicle will have the huge fender flares, etc.
I don't think the GT500 face...
I love high tech and innovation, but I agree hydrogen doesn't make sense, especially because gasoline can be had cheaply and our reserves of oil are huge. Some day in the future maybe hydrogen will be prefered. However, currently gas engines are the best answer.
It would be nice if the wheel got a little smaller. The wheel in my FiST is small, and combined with a quick steering ratio it really makes the car feel sporty. The Mustang should get some of that. Maybe not quite as extreme as the FiST, but more responsive would be good.
Flat bottom is ok...
DIsagree. The mouth dominates in the S550 as well. And the Ford fusion. And the Evos concept from what - 2011?
And yes the Mustang looks more similar now that Caddy truncated the cry baby tears on the headlights, but IMO the tears dominated the Cadillac. Now they are trying to downplay...
Makes sense to start from an IRS platform for an IRS car. No wonder the current Mustang has such a luxurious ride. :wink:
This still sounds to me like a better place to start from than an SUV platform.
If people really cared a lot about energy consumption and the environment, they would be buying smaller cars like you suggest. But it doesn't seem like most people care very much. They want a command seating position and lots of room - even if they are typically the only person in the vehicle...
I was re-reading this thread due to the dearth of new info, and one thing I wanted to mention is that front mid engine is still mid engine and it still provides benefits to performance. With a longer hood - it's likely a larger engine is going in there. However, with more engine setback the...
